Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a hydraulic cylinder, and particularly to an improvement in a single-acting type hydraulic cylinder suitable for use with a forklift.
- In the past, a single-acting type hydraulic cylinder for a forklift is operated to be extended, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, when liquid pressure P is supplied from the outside to a liquid chamber R which is a chamber on the counter rod side partitioned by a
piston 2 slidably inserted into acylinder body 1. - Further, the hydraulic cylinder is operated to be contracted when a supply of liquid pressure P to the liquid chamber R is released whereas a
rod body 3 having a proximal end connected to thepiston 2 gets into thecylinder body 1 due to own weight or load exerting on the extreme end to contract the liquid chamber R through thepiston 2. - At this time, the rod side chamber partitioned by the
piston 2 within thecylinder body 1 which is an air chamber A is in many cases communicated with the atmosphere outside thecylinder body 1 through acommunication hole 1a bored in thecylinder body 1. - On the other hand, the
rod body 3 which moves in and out of thecylinder body 1 extends through an axial part of a head member 4 forming an open end of thecylinder body 1. At this time, abearing 5 for causing the outer circumference of therod body 3 to sliding contact therewith is disposed in the inner circumference internally of thecylinder body 1 in the head member 4, and adust seal 6 for causing the outer circumference of therod body 3 to sliding contact therewith is disposed in the inner circumference of an open end in the head member 4. - Therefore, in the hydraulic cylinder, for example, when it is used for a forklift, a fork loaded with baggage can be moved up by the extension action thereof, and the fork loaded with baggage can be moved down by the contraction action thereof. At this time, when the
rod body 3 is moved in and out of thecylinder body 1, thebearing 5 compensates for slidability of therod body 3 with respect to the head member 4 whereas thedust seal 6 wipes out so-called dust adhered to the outer circumference of therod body 3 so that dust is not drawn into thecylinder body 1. - However, the conventional hydraulic cylinder shown in FIG. 2 involves a fear that when the
rod body 3 is moved in and out of thecylinder body 1, so-called heat generation occurs, and rust, discoloration and scratch due to the heat generation appear on the outer circumference of therod body 3. - That is, in the above-described hydraulic cylinder, since the rod side chamber partitioned by the
piston 3 within thecylinder body 1 comprises the air chamber A, so-called dry is formed between the inner circumference of thebearing 5 and the outer circumference of therod body 3, tending to poor lubrication as compared with the case of so-called wet where an oily sliding coating is formed. - Therefore, when sliding movement is frequently repeated between the
rod body 3 and thebearing 5, particularly when sliding movement such that therod body 3 is pressed against thebearing 5 is repeated, a heat generation phenomenon tends to appear between the inner circumference of thebearing 5 and the outer circumference of therod body 3. - Then, when the heat generation phenomenon appears, a degeneration is brought forth in the outer circumference of the
rod body 3 due to the heat generation, and rust or discoloration appears on the outer circumference of therod body 3 due to the degeneration. - At this time, also in the
bearing 5, abrasion is accelerated to deteriorate a function of bearing, and scratched phenomenon appears on the outer circumference of therod body 3, resulting in damage of even thedust seal 6. - As a consequence, occurrence of rust or formation of scratches in the outer circumference of the
rod body 3 further lowers so-called slidability of therod body 3 with respect to thecylinder body 1, posing an inconvenience being impossible to expect the desired permanent operation of the hydraulic cylinder. - The present invention has been created in view of the above-described circumstances, and aims to provide a single-acting type hydraulic cylinder which is operated to be expanded and contracted by supply and discharge of liquid pressure from so-called bottom side, the hydraulic cylinder being optimum for permanently securing the desired operation without bringing forth abrasion of a bearing and damage of a dust seal caused by rust or scratch in the outer circumference of a rod body.
- In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a hydraulic cylinder fundamentally constituted such that the cylinder is operated to be extended when liquid pressure from outside is supplied to a liquid chamber which is a counter rod side chamber partitioned by a piston slidably inserted into a cylinder body, the cylinder is operated to be contracted when a supply of liquid pressure to the liquid chamber is released whereas a rod body having a proximal end connected to a piston is moved into the cylinder body due to own weight or load exerting on the extreme end, and a head member forming an open end of a cylinder body for moving in and out of the rod body has a bearing for causing the outer circumference of the rod body to sliding contact therewith and a dust seal, the hydraulic cylinder, in the head member, comprising in series, a lubrication means in sliding contact with the outer circumference of the rod body on the bearing side between the bearing and the dust seal, and an oil seal in sliding contact with the outer circumference of the rod body on the dust seal side.
- In the above-described constitution, more concretely, the lubrication means is that for example, a lubricating material such as grease is stored in an inner circumferential groove at a predetermined position formed in the inner circumference of the head member, or a suitable impregnate material is received in the inner circumferential groove, the impregnate material being impregnated with a suitable lubricating material.
- Further, the rod side chamber partitioned by a piston within the cylinder body comprising an air chamber is communicated with the atmosphere outside the cylinder body through a communication hole bored in the cylinder body, or is set to an air spring chamber having a seal construction not in communication with the atmosphere outside the cylinder body while being an air chamber.
-
- FIG. 1 is a partly cutaway cross sectional view of a hydraulic cylinder according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a partly cutaway cross sectional view of a conventional hydraulic cylinder.
-
- In the following, the present invention will be described on the basis of an embodiment shown in the figure. As shown in FIG. 1, the hydraulic cylinder according to the present invention is also constituted fundamentally similar to the aforementioned conventional hydraulic cylinder, which is set to a single-acting hydraulic cylinder operated to be expanded and contracted by a supply and discharge of liquid pressure P from so-called bottom side.
- Therefore, in the following description, with respect to the constitution similar to that of the prior art shown in FIG. 2, parts thereof are designated by the same reference numerals in the figure except those as necessary, details of which are omitted.
- That is, in the hydraulic cylinder according to the present invention, a
bearing 5 is provided in the inner circumference inside acylinder body 1 in a head member 4, and adust seal 6 is provided in the inner circumference of an open end in the head member 4. A lubrication means 7 and anoil seal 8 are provided in series between thebearing 5 and thedust seal 6, that is, in series in an axial direction of arod body 3. - At this time, in the inner circumference of the head member 4, the lubrication means 7 is located on the bearing 5 side, that is, on the air chamber A side within the
cylinder body 1 whereas theoil seal 8 is located on thedust seal 6 side, that is, on the external side of thecylinder body 1 to prevent the lubrication effect of the lubrication means from so-called escaping outside thecylinder body 1 by theoil seal 8. - Incidentally, in the illustration, the lubrication means 7 stores, for example, a lubricating material 7a such as grease within an inner
circumferential groove 4a at a predetermined position formed in the inner circumference of the head member 4. - Incidentally, the lubrication means 7 will suffice, as a result, to form a lubricating coating (not shown and not designated by symbol) between the inner circumference of the
bearing 5 and the outer circumference of therod body 3. Therefore, in place of the above-described constitution, a suitable impregnate material may be received in the innercircumferential groove 4a, and a suitable lubricating material, that is, the lubricating material 7a such as grease described above may be impregnated in the impregnate material. - On the other hand, since the
oil seal 8 comprises a so-called U packing received in an inner circumferential groove 4b at a predetermined position formed in the inner circumference of the head member 4 similar to the above-described innercircumferential groove 4a, the inner circumference of which comes in sliding contact with the outer circumference of therod body 3. - At this time, the
oil seal 8 has a function such that a lubrication coating from the internal side of thecylinder body 1 adhered to the outer circumference of therod body 3, that is, from the lubrication means 7 side is remained on the lubrication means 7 side so as to prevent the coating from flowing out to the external side of thecylinder body 1, that is, to thedust seal 6 side. - Therefore, the hydraulic cylinder according to the present invention is operated to be extended, for example, when it is used for a forklift, when liquid pressure P from the outside is supplied to a liquid chamber R partitioned by a
piston 2 within thecylinder body 1, at which time a fork loaded with baggage is to be moved up. - Further, when likewise it is used for a forklift, a supply of liquid pressure P to the liquid chamber R is released, whereas the hydraulic cylinder is operated to be contracted when the
rod body 3 is moved into thecylinder body 1 due to a load such as own weight, at which time a fork loaded with baggage is to be moved down. - In the foregoing, the air chamber A which is a rod side chamber partitioned within the
cylinder body 1 is communicated with the atmosphere outside thecylinder body 1 through acommunication hole 1a bored in thecylinder body 1, and therefore, the above-described expansion and contraction operation is realized without so-called resistance. - Further, at the time of the above-described expansion and contraction, that is, at the time when the
rod body 3 is moved in and out of thecylinder body 1, the outer circumference of therod body 3 comes in sliding contact with not only thebearing 5 and thedust seal 6 disposed in the inner circumference of the head member 4 forming an open end of thecylinder body 1 but also the lubrication means 7 and theoil seal 8. - At this time, the bearing 5 secures slidability of the
rod body 3 with respect to thecylinder body 1 whereas thedust seal 6 prevents entry of dust adhered to the outer circumference of therod body 3 into thecylinder body 1. - At the same time, the lubrication means 7 forms a lubrication coating between the inner circumference of the
bearing 5 and the outer circumference of therod body 3 to lower sliding friction therebetween, and theoil seal 8 is able to prevent the lubricating material 7a forming a lubrication coating from escaping to the external side of thecylinder body 1, thus permanently securing lubrication between thebearing 5 and therod body 3. - In the foregoing, in the hydraulic cylinder, the rod side chamber partitioned by the
piston 2 within thecylinder body 1 comprises the air chamber A which is communicated with the atmosphere outside thecylinder body 1 through thecommunication hole 1a bored in thecylinder body 1, but in place thereof, though not shown, there can be employed an air spring chamber having a seal construction in which the air chamber A is not communicated with the atmosphere outside thecylinder body 1. - And, in a case where the air chamber A is set in the air spring chamber, there is an advantage in that when the extended hydraulic cylinder is contracted, contraction of the hydraulic cylinder is quickly realized by spring reaction generated in the air spring chamber.
- Further, in the foregoing, the
oil seal 8 is disposed adjacent to thedust seal 6, but a second lubrication means additional to the lubrication means 7 may be provided between theoil seal 8 and thedust seal 6. In this case, the outer circumference of therod body 3 which is so-called dry in theoil seal 8 can be maintained to be wet, which is advantageous in that further lubrication is secured. - As described above, in the present invention, there becomes possible to effect expansion and contraction operation for moving the rod body in and out of the cylinder body by a supply and discharge of liquid pressure to the liquid chamber partitioned on the bottom side within the cylinder body. When the hydraulic cylinder is used, for example, for a forklift, it becomes possible to elevate the fork loaded with baggage.
- At this time, in a case where the air chamber which is a rod side chamber partitioned within the cylinder body is communicated with the atmosphere outside the cylinder body, the expansion and contraction operation is realized without so-called resistance, and further, in a case where the air chamber is set in the air spring chamber having a seal construction, contraction of the hydraulic cylinder extended by spring reaction generated in the air spring chamber can be realized quickly.
- Further, in the above-described expansion and contraction, that is, when the rod body is moved in and out of the cylinder body, the outer circumference of the rod body comes in sliding contact with the bearing disposed in the inner circumference of the head member forming an open end of the cylinder body to secure slidability of the rod body to the cylinder body; the dust seal disposed in the inner circumference of the head member prevents dust adhered to the outer circumference of the rod body from entering the cylinder body; the lubrication means disposed between the bearing and the dust seal forms a lubrication coating between the inner circumference of the bearing and the outer circumference of the rod body to lower sliding friction therebetween; and the oil seal disposed in series with the lubrication means and in the inner circumference of the head member enables to prevent the lubricating material forming the lubrication coating from escaping to the external side of the cylinder body to permanently secure lubrication between the bearing and the rod body.
- Moreover, with respect to the disposition of the lubrication means and the oil seal, a slight change in design of the head member will suffice, not requiring a large scale change in design.
- As a result, according to the present invention, there is provided a single-acting type hydraulic cylinder subjected to expansion and contraction operation by supply and discharge of liquid pressure from the so-called bottom side, which does not bring forth rust or scratch in the outer circumference of the rod body but is optimum for permanently securing the desired operation.
